Photo with two Klapinski designed Tempest(s): Both are from Southern CA. Late ‘60s early ‘70s
Left: Looks to be the work of Preston Wilson, San Diego area. He built 2 of them, one black and one white. Flawless finish on both. Even the inside of the cowl was rubbed out!
Right: with big lettering belongs to Mike Jackson, Long Beach, CA. He was junior national champ somewhere between '69 and '72. Maybe Keith Trostle has records.
If these guys are still around, especially Mike Jackson I would love to get in touch with them.

Mike Jackson was Senior champ in 1971. A TERRIFIC flyer and nice guy. I think the last I saw of him was the 72 NATs...

from 2003.
Sorry to dig up an old thread.
Got any more?
I recall seeing pics of Lauri's models in late 90s/early 2000s. I was stunned even though the pics were pretty low quality. Bit like the attached one from 1999. I recall there was a blue and white one too.

It still is great to see the planes again even if it is an old post. Also see why some get 20 points and others 19. All gorgeous planes and wish all were still flying them. Have fun, DOC Holliday

Great to see so many beautiful works of art from the past...and thanks for taking time to scan those interesting Nats 72 slides. Time flies, huh? H^^

I love looking at old pics! Can I play? #^

Sorry to dig up an old thread.
And now I'm doing it again.
Lauri Malila has posted a couple of pics of his earlier ships, elsewhere, so I'll put them up here too (hoping Lauri doesn't mind).
- two pics of #8 (at the other forum, I got the feeling that the color combination no longer pleases Lauri (?) )
- #10
Might as well post a few other pics I've ran across recently.
-
since we are havin fun..

Cool scans Derek, I'm guessing the plane to pilot size ratio is a little different with you in the pictures NOW.

I pretty sure I have seen Barts red Pathfinder plane fly a few times. It has a very strong corner. Bart Kaplinsky has the unique abilty to hold virtually any stunt ship extremely steady, whether his or someone elses. Having watched,(and judged) Bart's flying a number of times, I can tell you that, I can see no reason why with current equipment, Bart can't be in the top five Walker Cup finals, at current and future Nat's.
He has a VERRRY steady hand!!

Anyone have any shots from the 73 NATS?

Mike and I were friends and flying partners back in 70-73. We lived a short distance apart and would fly over at Hartwell Park in Long Beach. I think he was also Jr. champion in 70 and 71 but I'm not sure. We were both in high school at the time. After high school, we lost touch.

Behind Gene's "USAAMA"/"Stunt Machine" is Bob Baron's "Humbug" variation.

Dadgum that's a purty plane, and excellent photo quality. You don't mind if I borrow the pic for a desktop background? Should be a perfect contrast with the colors and all those tiny pebbles in the asphalt! H^^

Lauri can build a nice aircraft y1
In case anyone missed it, there's a long thread on technical and esthetic details of his #14: a Yatzenko Shark
